1 Comparison between 0654 Co-ordinated Sciences and individual science IGCSE syllabuses This document has been prepared to allow teachers to compare the content of the IGCSE Co-ordinated Sciences syllabus (0654) with each of the companion separate science IGCSE syllabuses (Biology, 0610, page 2; Chemistry, 0620, page 23; Physics, 0625, page 37). The syllabus content of the Co-ordinated Sciences (double award) is largelya subset of each of the separate sciences. The syllabus co ntent is designed to enable the co-teaching of CIE’s scien ce courses. The following minor differences, however, should be noted: 1. The con tent of the Co-ord inated S ciences syll abus is set out in topi c areas within Bio logy, Che mistry and Physics. While the content takes the content of each of the separate sciences as a guide fororganisatio n, the topic areas given in Co-ordinated Science s are not identical to the content areas of the separate sciences, often reducing two or more of the separate science content areas into one. 2. Some o f the a ssessment objectives given i n the Co-ordinated Sciences sylla bus are worded slightly differently to the similar objectives given in the separate scie nce syllabuses. These differences make more explicit the detail of the content referred to in the separate science syllabuse s. The assessment objectives highlig hted in pink refer to the core content of the Co-ordinated Sciences syllabus, and those objectives highlighted in yellow refer to the supplement content. Double asterixes indicate areas where the syllabuses are expressed slightly differently in the various syllabuses.
